sinner;

for you, the person reading this post, before everything else, i request you to go to http://www.wayofthemaster.com, watch the intro at the homepage, then click on the number 1 button. answer the questions in the presentation, and look into yourself. after you have done so, you may read the rest of my post.

i just watched the presentation for the first time, and even though the gospel has already been shared to me, it still never fails to make me realize that i am a hopeless sinner. when i reviewed the 10 commandments, i realized that i have already broken all 10 of them. all 10! if God judges me by his commands, i am guilty of breaking everything, and i am destined for eternal punishment. but God has shown me his mercy and love, and he has saved me from eternal damnation. Jesus Christ has given me new life, and i am truly grateful for it. a lot of things has changed in my life ever since.

but as i evaluate my life at present, it seems that my old nature is creeping back to me. i don't want it to happen again, i have learned to hate my old life, but it still has ways of getting a hold of me. i am struggling again with my past sins.

as i read Psalm 51, tears flowed from my eyes. i badly need God's love and mercy right now. The Spirit has spoken to me and showed me all my transgressions. O Lord, truly Lord, your love is unfailing. many times i have failed you, but not once have you failed me. once again, i ask for your forgiveness... once again, i ask for the righteousness of Christ to be in me... thank you Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Psalm 51:1-17

1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.

5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ;
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.

14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.

16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

so long;

it's been so long since i have posted in my blog... my last post was almost 2 months ago. maybe it's because of my acads weighing me down towards the end of the semester.

a lot has happened to me since then. hmmm, where do i start. for one, i'm already doing my practicum this summer, and it's quite exhausting. i spend most of my weekdays working on a project for our church (Lakas Angkan Ministries Inc.). and i thank God that it's not as exhausting as my other batchmates' OJT, because my practicum is output-based.

as for my weekends, i spend most of it at our church. saturday afternoon = praise and worship team practice (i play drums). sunday morning = sunday worship service (7:30 - 9:30 am, 10:00 - 12:00 nn), sunday afternoon = LA youth fellowship praise and worship practice, monday night = LA youth fellowship. though it seems exhausting (and sometimes it really is), i find my strength from God. He sustains me throughout the week to do everything for Him.

right now, i am working on our project for our practicum. and i praise God because i have already discovered the problem in one application that we are supposed to use! so starting now, we are able to work faster! yahoo!

*sigh* i feel sleepy... *yawns* till my next post...
